Overview

  • Arkham data shows transfers of 2,201 BTC (about $192 million) and 7,557 ETH (about $22 million) from wallets tied to BlackRock to Coinbase Prime.
  • The on-chain moves coincided with December 26 redemptions from spot Bitcoin ETFs totaling $275.88 million, including $192.61 million from iShares IBIT, according to SoSoValue.
  • Ethereum products recorded $38.70 million in outflows the same day, with iShares ETHA posting $22.12 million in withdrawals, SoSoValue reported.
  • Over the past week, crypto ETPs saw $446 million exit, while CoinShares tallied $3.2 billion in outflows since October 10 as year-end caution persisted.
